***JUST USE FETCHV*** Context: It makes you jump through hoops, but then asks you money, and plasters a big effin' QR code across the video, rendering your efforts useless. Class act on what not to do in initial impression.

Or, donate, ya guys, so they can remove the QR code watermark that's just insulting - at best. They prolly hired someone that made the decision - OR on one drunk night one of the contributors in the team had this "brilliant" idea.

Uninstalled it myself, because I was a day 1 addon user. I'll look for a "competing product" that offers more for without being a thunder-karen instead of a nag-master - that's a labor of love, than a downhill-deer.

You guys are brilliant devs, but very saddened by the approach you took. Do it the winrar way - nag, but don't obstruct. Because it pisses off your potential leads from the get-go. Esp considering most folks that were there with you since day 1 are starting to move on.

Coming here from Reddit btw. You guys are making a case-study on what not to do. Thanks for the lesson for a lifetime.

Since I had to waste time uninstalling the extension + uninstalling the helper I might also leave a one star review... Why is the point downloading a video ruined by your QR Code / Watermark... Just make it clear this require a paid license for Youtube

年々使えるサイトが減って、とうとう大手でも失敗するようになりました。コンパニオンアプリを入れた上での話です。他のアドオンもだめなので、動画ダウンロードだけChromium系アドオンを使っています。面倒だけど確実なので。

Вводят в залужение: закрывают видео, вымогают деньги.

Waste of time since the revamp the devs should be ashamed of themselves it fails to download any video.

хуета

Pourquoi pas demander de l'argent, mais 20 euros par année ça me semble beaucoup trop.
Je viens d'installer FetchV qui fonctionne extrêmement bien

It used to work fine, but suddenly they added a watermark on the video

Загрузка идёт очень медленно, требуют установить доп. приложение на компьютер, а по её завершению вы узнаете, что на пол экрана вам налепят огромную вотемарку с каким-то QR кодом! Отвратительно, подло и паскудно!

water mark taking 40% of whole video for a whole time

if the final product is going to have a giant, opaque watermark on it blocking the whole point of the app, then PLEASE put this app behind a normal, full-disclosure paywall page like a legitimate software for sale, instead of a bait and switch sample of pay-to-unlock features, like this. just be honest. there doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall the weird secondary app it requires, now, as my pc doesn't list it in programs, so it feels like malware despite the friendly reassurance on the download page.

It looks like you could download things, but soon as you try, it immediately complains and tells you to install another app that bypasses Firefox's store so who knows what crap is in it.

Get's worse with every passing year. No longer usable due to watermarking and subscription requirements.

forces a huge QR code on the resulting video making it completely pointless and a waste.

Fue bueno mientras duró. Justo lo desinstalo por sus mala practicas

Scam.

Amazin!
27$ for something that already exists for free.
I understand the difficulty in programming stuff especially for larger user bases and am willing to pay a few bucks for extensions (see DeArrow for example). But 27$ is too much, sorry.

And also you are not upfront about it. I only know it when I 1. Downloaded the extension, 2. Downloaded the companion, 3. Downloaded a video
That is absurdly misleading. You could just show a prompt on installation of the extension or even better at the top of the extension description in red so everyone knows what they are getting into.

Fails to mention that you require to purchase a license to download an audio file or to remove a huge QR code inside videos. Since you have to install an additional "companion" app anyway, you're better off with installing a free alternative instead.

c'est devenu complétement payant, si on paye pas on a un gros qr code sur la vidéo récupérée

Расширение наполняется абсолютно ненужным и в основном мусорным функционалом, главный козырь программы скачивания с всего и вся, сузился до пары тройки десятков полит корректных сайтов.
Не читал полное соглашение
(время дорого), но уже на подсознательном уровне понимаешь что здесь разработчику предоставлен карт-бланш со стороны Mozilla, на удобных лишь ему условиях.
Перешёл на другой непопулярный аналог с простым минималистичным окном и парой кнопок, как гора с плеч.
Всего доброго.

The extension is filled with completely unnecessary and mostly garbage functionality, the main trump card of the program downloading from anything and everything, narrowed down to a couple of three dozen politically correct sites.
I haven't read the full agreement
(time is precious), but already on a subconscious level you realize that here the developer is given carte blanche by Mozilla, on terms convenient only to him.
I switched to another unpopular analog with a simple minimalistic window and a couple of buttons, like a mountain off my shoulders.
